I guess even though I've paid $500 many times, I've never paid that HOURLY.
 
Now, I've hired *plenty* of gentlemen who quoted well over $300-500 as their advertised "rate", but I've always discussed a "session" or "visit" rate. My fellow SoCal poster @Epigonos books in a similar manner I believe
 
Sometimes yes that's for an hour, usually due to no chemistry or a dishonest advertiser in my hotel or bedroom room so it's "goodbye" early on. More often than not I get 90-120 minutes for the quoted/agreed rate, we chat, freshen up, fun, chat some more. Maybe a meal...
 
I've had incredible luck the last 25 years (yikes that long?!) booking "sessions". Don't assume (or at least I don't) that the advertised rate is per hour. It might be, and you might be hiring a clock watcher? But often in the initial comms that can be worked with.
 
Never forget these guys are human first. Respect goes a long way in discussing donations and plans.

I have paid 5OO for 2 hours plenty of times ... but per hour, no way

Good report... But is this like a car dealer when you have "list" price versus what is the "negotiated" price... How about adding a column and having clients put in price actually paid....

What is the problem many of you seem to have with sending pics? I have no problem with that. If for some reason he won't 'do' me because of the way I look, let's clarify that right away - before I spend time and money to go over to his place and have a so-so experience.
 
I had an escort in LA ask my name/age/occupation. The question about occupation surprised me more than anything. Really? Hey, I work in a bank. What else do you want to know?

... a classically trained pianist? That's unusual. I'd love to see/hear him play the piano in the nude. Big turn ON for me. I would do him for 2OO or 250.

I agree with you at some level. I DO like formality, and welcome any social occasion to dress up. However the Met, and even more so, the Philarmonic, desperately need to attract a younger crowd and a new generation of fans. Mercedes Bass' millions will not last forever ...

I'm not sure that would be a good idea. Considering this is opera, and everyone would be dressed to the 9's, someone might mistake you for Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.:D

If someone thinks they want to take Austin, there's something physical they may want to consider. What I mean is Austin's stature. He's over 6 feet tall. I think he's 6'3" or 6'4" and a very solid built guy. When I took him out several years ago, he made some kind of mention of not always enjoying performances because the seating was uncomfortable for him. The reason I recall this was we ended up at a smaller theater. The rows were very steep. The seating wasn't that comfortable for me either. I'm not saying you shouldn't hire him if he's your type. But if you know it's one of the extremely timy theaters, maybe a slightly smaller escort wouldn't be as inconvenienced by small seats.

I don't 'diss' the Philarmonic, but they try to be so 'educational' most of the time. Why do they make audiences sit through incomprehensible French 1920s music by an obscure composer before Joshua Bell plays Tchaikowski? So annoying.

Philly50, I have the perfect candidate for you--a primo escort who genuinely loves opera, and who attended many a dress rehearsal and performance at the Lyric Opera back in his hometown, Chicago. However, before proceeding with my suggestion, I have a few caveats--and a question.
 
First, even though he might love opera as much as, say, La Cieca herself, and could offer you delightful and situationally appropriate company, this escort would still be there as a professional companion. In other words, you'd be paying for his time--literally, for once.
 
Now let's imagine that seaworld had asked him to the Met's 'Tristan' on Monday night. Just having him at his side for the performance would have cost him $1,500, barring any multiple-hour fee considerations. So when you factor in the roughly $800 cost of two box seats* (you'd need that kind of free-form space for this big fella) you've already crossed over into weekender territory. And the additional costs of travel, intermission drinks, supper and the like would surely push you toward the $3,000 mark.
 
All that, and you still haven't got him back to your place and out of his clothes! (For which add $300 to $500. . .)
 
So my question is: do you really plan to celebrate your birthday in such lavish style?
 
------------------
 
*Actually, those box seats cost even more last Monday night--which was also the gala opening of the Met's season.

I used to get tickets for some of productions at the MET, and then would try to find an escort who would appreciate the evening as much as I did. That was harder said than done. I brought one guy to a Puccini opera (not difficult to sit through -- as opposed to some of the German repertoire) and he was fidgeting, and twice I had to tell him to put the %#$ phone away. He literally walked out at the end of the 1st act -- and dared me to get him to return to the theatre (returning to the hotel, I politely but firmly cancelled the rest of the evening, handed him taxi fare for LaGuardia, and sent him on his way -- total jerk).
 
I have found more success with European escorts who - as stated above - are somehow more appreciative of opera as an art form, and not at all embarrassed or uncomfortable accompanying a client to the Met or some other venue. Better, they can sit after the production and actually discuss it with a some authority. I wish - Kevin Slater - I had known of your interest in the past. I imagine you would be a very enjoyable companion for "A Night at the Opera."
 
I once scored tickets for the Bolshoi Theatre for a lengthy 4-act Soviet opera by Sergei Prokofiev Semyon Kotko. It was a special production mounted before the theatre was to close for major renovations. I had two tickets, and checked around for an escort -- and hit the jackpot with a soldier who escorted on the side, and who loved the opera. He showed up at the hotel in a beautifully-tailored suit and very shiny shoes, quite a sight as he was a very muscular guy. He had obviously been to this theatre often in the past, knew the routine of checking coats and hats (and politely and considerately had an extra plastic bag for my hat and gloves); managed to get us free champagne and caviar between acts in one of the loge bars, and then took me to an after-hours club where we could relax with brandy and talk over the very difficult plot and music -- and then... the rest of the night was even more fantastic.

I have been using 2Xist, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren basic briefs. I buy them at a discount to retail price, either through Amazon or Century 21 in New York. The 2Xist are a bit tight, but the CK and RL fit great and hold up well. Not the most 'sexy' of looks, but I am happy with them for everyday use.

If you wrote only one of the reviews then perhaps yours is the one the others are based on. Or perhaps they are by some strange coincidence all written in similar style by different people, I am not accusing anyone, just making an observation that you are free to disagree with

I've done this in the recent past with 2 young men, separately of course. Both times it worked out well. It definitely was not platonic.
 
I was clear at the outset on what my needs were and when I expected them to be met. Similarly, I helped the young man define his needs and goals by discussing how I could help him. I found the experience delightful because I enjoy the company of polite, well-educated and attractive young men.
 
The surprises to me were threefold:
1. I had to set boundaries early on with one man. I explained that I wasn't a parent and so I was not obliged to take care of everything for him.
2. I had not realised how much and how often young men eat (and drink) when they are physically active.
3. Bonds of affection grew quite quickly. On leaving, each man expressed his love for me and how much living with me had helped. (And I remain close to both men)

He is interesting, but I am not into back-to-back-to-back sessions, which inevitably happen to out of town escorts in NYC ...

Can we stop talking about vaj**J** please? I am gay and the very thought of anything related to va***a totally grosses me out. Thank you.

I will say that AP/GS really got TRASHED over on the muscleservice forum ... and by well-respected long time reviewers no less. Complaints about cancelling last minute, no shows, too expensive, not really all that hot, less than memorable experiences. Damn!

wondering if the trans is the same one Anthonyphysique plays with it seems WhiteJockStud and Anthoneyphysique are related... WJK borrows A's ads and also associated with trans and they both appear in Adonis lounge

DAMMMMMMNNNN ... I am ENJOYING this. Need to take that Kurtis boy for a SPIN when he visits NY next time!
